People can and will kill themselves regardless of whether there is legal euthanasia. Regardless of euthanasia there has never been a sufficient level of social support for people in certain situations, and i highly doubt there will ever be. Removing the possibility of euthanasia does literally nothing except force people to die without dignity, alone, in pain, by brutal methods

The issue here is that government is using murder to solve housing. This was a conservative fever dream 10 years ago. We now have credible claims it's happening.

How was this a “conservative fever dream”? The majority of advocacy for assisted suicide seems to originate from the left-wing, as does the majority of advocacy for restrictive zoning.

You're in agreement you just misunderstood. He's saying, to paraphrase, that the conspiracy theories keep eventually showing to be true, it's not a good look for the left that they keep demonstrating how the slippery slope is real, etc.

Conservative people were calling this abhorrent, that people will be euthanized by their aptly named health care system due to lack of aptly named welfare, killed to maintain cost efficiency, and were dismissed as religious loons who want to restrict the right to bodily autonomy because suicide is a sin by scaremongering. Hence fever dream. Well now, that fever dream is proven to be a reality and we risk losing the principle of bodily autonomy in the public consciousness as the public learns that doctors are offing people because they're homeless.

“Death panels” were a talking point from American conservatives in the late 2000’s referring to the eventual end point of a fully liberalized healthcare system. A panel of bureaucrats that would decide who does and doesn’t get medical care, effectively killing those who weren’t selected to get care. It was considered ridiculous and not grounded in reality at the time, i.e, a fever dream. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_panel
